Copy & Pasting the Players chart to Excel, then doing some quick sums and divisions...

We're on game dc195, 1630 players have played (including duplicates)

This makes for an average of 8.4 players per game, which sounds reasonable given most games are standard but some are larger.

There have been 250 total of Abandons and Civil Disorders, which is 1.3 per game, or about 1 per 7-player game. Sounds high, but that's more like Steve's game getting 4, and then a few games getting none.

Anyways, those are the stats! We are doing everything we can to reduce the impact of Abandons on games... suggestions are definitely welcome. It's very hard to prevent tho, since well... it's everyone's perogative to quit.

One could write a book on the merits of replacing vs civil disorder... you'll find both methods in play here, including hybrids like mine. Thoughts on which is better?
